The same billing experience applies to the Google programmable search api. Easy to get a key, but a Byzantine maze to pay for more than the free version.

My theory is that these bots are tests to eventually have a decent config to gain enough age&karma to have some voting clout. Then the upvotes are used to boost the attackers stories and avoid voting rings.

How does voting work with shadowbanned accounts? Selling upvotes on stories is the real game, nobody cares about comments.

Why. Why are they doing this. It’s the same with Netflix. I don’t understand. What is the metric that goes up when they show a couple giant videos.

Has that ever really worked? And considering meta has billions of users on not just Facebook, but also WhatsApp and instagram, I’m skeptical. I know people who hate meta, but can’t shake instagram.

My opinion is that if corporate personhood is OK, then the corporation should face the same consequences as people do when they break the law. So facilitation of human trafficking should go to criminal court.

Look, most of us here know that meta is a terrible company that has done terrible things. But what is actually being done about it? So far just some token fines and petty wrist slaps. What’s really the plan here? Because they’re not going

28M 500 errors/sec for several hours from a single provider. Must be a new record. No other time in history has one single company been responsible for so much commerce and traffic. I wonder what some outage analogs to the pre-interne

"Unlike traditional monitors that force your eyes to focus at a near distance, Phantom allows you to look through the display and focus on objects at varying distances. This helps reduce eye fatigue during long work sessions by giving

I'm absolutely not arguing that X is false, because I don't know what X is, and I am arguing in good faith. I will follow up with the question: if the non-profit and the for-profit are owned by the same shareholders, what is the

I want to understand this more, so can someone please ELI5 what the theft in the article actually is? Theft implies someone lost something. I think it's theft from the non-profit? But what does that mean? Is it theft of taxes bec

This is it right here. My foil is the Elasticsearch replacement because PG has inverted indices. The ergonomics and tunability of these in PG are terrible compared to ES. Yes, it will search, but I wouldn’t want to be involved in construct

Well, it’s 2025 and I still need to install a 3rd party toolbar calendar app, so there’s that. I also can’t snap windows, and Cmd-tab still can’t tab between different windows of the same application. There’s lots more usability that can be

Because, assuming it's done properly w/o cheating, it's a great learning tool. It's sometimes easy to forget that certain tasks are the way they are because they're supposed to teach. We don't structure teach

My two cents about this after working with some teachers: this is a cat and mouse game and you're wasting your time trying to catch students writing essays on their own time. It is better to pivot and not care about the actual content

Python has decorators which can be used to add sugar to methods for things like true parallelization. For example, see modal.com’s Python snippets. https://modal.com/docs/examples/batched_whisper
